For best results, the residual moisture of the

laundry should be 25%. Laundry which contains more than 50% synthetic fibers must not be ironed in this machine. The synthetics might melt at the high temperatures. Laundry with less synthetics can be ironed at a low temperature. Preparing the laundry � Sort the laundry according to how much heat is required for ironing. � Check the fabric care label for the correct ironing temperature of the laundry. Care symbol Fabric Dot symbol Temp. � Do not iron � Polyester / Rayon � cool iron (low temp.) � Silk / Woolens �� medium hot iron (medium temp.) � Cottons / Linen ��� hot iron (high temp.) � Start ironing at a low setting and gradually increase the temperature according to the fabric being ironed. � If decreasing the temperature is necessary, it is only reached, once the "Heating" indicator lights again. Ironing tips – To avoid creasing stop the roller, pull the item back slightly and smooth out. If ne- cessary, dampen again with a wet cloth or spray bottle. – If possible, always use the whole length of the roller, otherwise it will lose its elasticity. – For small items such as handkerchiefs, al- ternate between the right and left hand si- des of the roller. – Iron starched items last to avoid any starch transfer to other items. – Items with buttons, zippers or holes should be ironed face down on to the roller so that they are pressed into the cushioned surface. – Cover zippers, metal buttons, and metal hooks with a cloth to protect the heater plate. – Buttons, zippers and trim that is not heat resistant or very large buttons should not be ironed. They may damage the heater plate. Caution! Before using for the first time clean the heater plate by ironing an old cloth over the whole roller length. Use 8

Frequently asked questions 10

Regular cleaning and maintenance of the

heater plate is essential for the durability of the motor and roller pad and cover. Waxing the heater plate The heater plate should be waxed daily be- fore use with a cleaning cloth for optimum performance. Original cleaning cloths and ironing wax can be obtained from Miele. � For cleaning and waxing the heater plate, set the roller speed to the lowest and the temperature to ���. � Sprinkle the ironing wax on the middle part of a cleaning cloth (Miele accessory). Only use a small quantity of wax. Do not get wax on the roller, it will melt and damage the roller cover. � Wrap the two ends over and feed the cloth into the rotary iron like a laundry item with the long side (arrow) first. � Starting from left to right, the cloth is fed into the iron until the entire roller length is covered. Cleaning the heater plate Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, scrubbing sponges or sand paper. � Lime and starch deposits can build up on the heater plate. Clean the heater plate 1-3 times per week with an oil cloth and cleanpaste. � For stubborn deposits use a cleaning cloth along with the cleaning mat. � The heater plate must be waxed after each cleaning. See "Miele Ironing Handbook" for further in- formation. Cleaning and Care 11

Discoloration of the ironing cover

A slight to heavily brown coloration of the iro- ning cover is normal. To avoid the cover from turning black: – Always use the complete roller width. – Space out smaller items, alternating from left to right. – Raise the heater plate and lower the tem- perature during breaks. Washing the ironing cover The ironing cover should not be washed if only slightly discolored (yellowing normal). � A heavily soiled cover can be washed at a hot temperature 203°F (95°C), spun and returned to the roller while still damp. � Before removing the ironing cover to clean or replace it, turn the rotary iron off, let the heater plate cool and remove the feed board. � Unhook the laundry pick-off units off the roller one after another. � Turn the rotary iron on "I" and raise the heater plate "�". � Press the foot pipe to the 2nd switch point and remove the ironing cover while the roller turns backwards. Applying an ironing cover � Raise the heater plate and turn the rotary iron off. � Lay the ironing cover on the roller (parallel). � Turn the rotary iron on "I" and lower the heater plate "�". The ironing cover is pulled in. � Steel wool bits will fall on the ironing table when removing or replacing the ironing cover. Clean them immediately. A repadding is necessary if an air gap is vi- sible between the lower edge of the heater plate and the roller (laundry outlet). To replace or renew the roller padding call Technical Service. Laundry pick-off unit Clean the tips of the laundry pick-off unit’s to remove dirt and starch every 2-3 months or as needed. � Pull the laundry unit out and clean with warm water.
